  • @PeterZeihan; Hard Question: Given: “United Nations World Population Prospects”

    @PeterZeihan;
    Hard Question:
    Given: “United Nations World Population Prospects” thru 2100. And: Current collapse of dating, mating, marriage, and reproduction. And: The flat line for the USA of 12 per 1k @ .09% growth doesn’t match what I’m seeing in real-time. And: assuming downward shift out of clerical white collar due to tech.
    (a) What are your thoughts? Better guess?
    (b) Are all births equal to so speak? Is the distribution of reproduction symmetric or asymmetric with future demand? (Pass on this one if you can’t couch it comfortably.).

    -Thanks

    We are going to have to do the same thing you know. It’s the only solution left. We should have done it in ’19. But whenever we do, this, and three weeks of it, is what it will take. End Empires forever.

  • THE GREATER GOOD? AND OUR GOVT’S EXPIRATION DATE? – Some politicians, bureaucrat

    THE GREATER GOOD? AND OUR GOVT’S EXPIRATION DATE?
    – Some politicians, bureaucrats, financiers, ‘vendors’, and supporters do have the greater good at heart.
    – Some have an ideology at heart as a substitute for the greater goods.
    – Some have their party’s power structure at heart as a substitute for the gerater good.
    – Some have their funders at heart as a substitute for the greater good.
    – And some have their voters as a substitute for the greater good.
    – And some have their personal interests at heart regardless of the greater good.
    – And nearly all some admixture of the above.

    I don’t know what percent.
    I do know it’s not working.
    And the postwar government isn’t organized or populated for:
    – the new-war government that must complete the transition from authoritarian agrarian empires with involuntary colonies, to volutnary rule of law industrial federations with a market of voluntary trading partners.
    – or the termination of the attempt to restore authoritarian imperial socialist government over rule of law, meritocratic, market government.

    We know what to do. But this big a government is going to require a lot of ‘firing and new hiring’, and legal and policy reform to prevent this from happening again.

    I’m not so sure it’s about butter, but about what he sees as a lifetime investment in a geostrategy and domestic policy that has run its course. If that’s what defending the empire means then that fits.

    But everyone has a motive.
    Not everyone can tolerate blame.
    USA is the logical actor. UA the second most logical.
    USA can survive the blame. UA I’m not sure.
    Hirsh’s article doesn’t survive scrutiny (at all). Though he claims more is forthcoming.
    Hirsh has a reputation aside from his one victory for specious constructivist reporting in his tribe’s tradition.
    UA is not ‘organized’ in that there are many independent groups engaged in this conflict. And the people who are accused of this are ??? apparently ??? connected to trying to kill Dugin, and getting his daughter.
    This accusation of UA small team actors is the first ‘proposal’ (I won’t call it evidence) that makes sense.
    If we see UA agree it was UA personnel, I expect that as in the last case they attribute it to independent actors.
    For my part (given my background and experience) I CAN see USA facilitating independent group action by UA non-government non-military.
    FWIW: UA-USA respect is there. UA-USA trust is not. That’s why we’re seeing careful deployment of mil-tech. USA doesn’t trust UA won’t go after Moscow.

    Sonnenfeld’s slide deck on the REAL state of the Russian economy. Tip: the IMF is ‘making it up’. And all the talking heads are relying on the IMF reports when they claim the sanctions aren’t working.
